Collaborating with Your Coach on Training Locations
Yes, you can request a specific location for your training session. Athletes Untapped encourages athletes and coaches to collaborate in selecting convenient and suitable training venues. Coaches can list up to three preferred training locations on their profiles, providing flexibility for both parties – but a lot of coaches are willing to train elsewhere if it better suits their client. To view a coach’s available locations, visit their profile on our platform.
Communicating Your Preferred Location
If you have a specific location in mind that differs from the coach’s listed venues, it’s important to discuss this directly with the coach. You can send a message through our platform to propose your preferred training site. Many coaches are open to accommodating reasonable requests, provided the location is suitable for the intended training and logistically feasible. For guidance on initiating communication with a coach, refer to our Find a Coach page.
Factors to Consider When Selecting a Training Location
When proposing a specific location, consider the following factors to ensure it meets both your needs and those of your coach:
- Facility Availability: Confirm that the location is accessible and available during your desired training times.
- Appropriateness for Training: Ensure the venue is suitable for the specific sport or training activities planned.
- Safety and Permissions: Verify that the location is safe and that any necessary permissions or permits have been obtained.
Discussing these aspects with your coach will help in selecting an optimal training environment.
